ranged for the dining room ard library does
not admit OF agratso or mantel being used. Such
an arrangements is entirely possible, however,
by constructing for corner CRATES. Thereis a
~coziness shout . corner CRATE which is not all
ways to be noticed In one placed in the side Of
a room. The expense of the brick work for
such CRATES in this house would be about S25
If economically arranged. The raantels and
CRATE fittings could be made to cost whateyrr
the owner desires to have them-S20 elch or
more. Hence about S65 is saved by having
the plain fiues, providing we do rot consider
the cost of the stoves. In any evont a stove
should be used in one of these rooms for the
purpose of making q crate fire possible in
Others during the cold weather.
There Is one very large window opening
into the dining room. 1t is a very pleasant
thing to have the upper sash of the dining
room window glazed with simple colors of CO.
thedral glass. This glass gives q very pleas
ant tone to the light OF the room, and Mt the
same time excludes the hot rays Of the sun in
summer. 1t Is entirely possible to dispense
with outside shutters where cathedral glass Is
used in tie upper sashes. A metal rod run
ming across the window on the inside on q
level with the horizontal dividing rail of the
window may be made to carry curtains
which will exclude the view from the outside.
Thus In the glass and by the aid of the cur
tain we have all that might be expected Of
ehutters.

hEAh ADMihAL WOhDEN.
There is no doubt that the engagement be-
tween the Monitor and the Merrimac was one
of the decisive naval encounters of the civil
war. Had the Merrimac's work of destruction
been allowed to continue, the end of the con-
test might have como at once and in favor Of
the south instead of the north. The history Of
the Monitors construction is well remem-
bered. How she was designed, rushed on
the stocks and launched in a hurry, how she
proved herself unseaworthy during her voy-
age from New York to Hampton roads and
how her crew was completely exhausted,
from loss of sleep and ~ceaseless efforts to keep
her afloat when the action was begun, need
only DE referred to in passing.
But in view of the retirement of Admiral
Worden it may not be out of place to recall
some of the details Of the fight itself.
Anchorage was male in Hampton roads at
3 p. m. on the Sth, and though neither officers
nor men had slept for nearly thirty-six hours
they passed a wakeful night, not knowing at
b moment they might be attacked by the
Merrimac, the Confederacy's new ironclad
ram, that had already destroyed the United
States frigates the Cumberland and the Con-
gress. As soon as daylight came Commander
Worden decided to force matters without de-
lay, and first taking position to defend the
Minnesota, which the Merrimac had
marked for her next victim, boldly at
tackled the destroyer OF the previous
day. At first the Insignificant appearance
of the Monitor Tended to produce a feeling of
derision on the part Of the officers and men Of
the Merrimac. But it was soon found that
the queer craft that had come to protect the
Minnesota was no ordinary adversary.

1Ecre Is q china pantry D6eweei Jne kitchen
and dining room. It is lighted by q small
window at one side. 1t serves as q passage
between these two rooms and thus serves to
keep the odor Of the cooking from the front
part of the house. The pastry pantry is i'm
mediately back of the china pantry and Is en-
tered from the kitchen. 1t is also provided
with a smal window. In the kitchen is o
sink with a swinging table at one side and
room for a portable table on the other. At
one side OF the sink may be the cistern pump
and on the other side the well pump. The
pumps should be placed well back against the
wall and with handles that are well out OF the
way when not in use. 1t is entirely unneces-
sary to place the pumps in the yards Of low
cost houses as is so common. II a driven we'll

1t is to be noticed that there Is no waste
room in the hall up stairs. There is merely

can be nothing better in the way Of the

are small. This thing is to be borne in mind,
however, that the value OF q room Is not de

respectable dimensions but yet not have the
necessary wall space for the furniture. Such

o ELEVATION.
Especial Correspondence

FhONT ELEtATIUN. 34 g.
The plan here given is one which has been
used some three or four times during the last
year, though each time with certain modia-
cations. No one ever builds exactly the same
house as his neighbor. Housekeeping habits
ment of rooms in . house Is not always mat
ter of reason. II IL frequently q matter Of
preference or prejudice. / have drawn and
lettersd the plan here given Just as it was
used the last time. There are different ways
Of handling the general arrangement as here
shown. The three front rooms might be kept
Just as they are, excepting that the dining
room could be placed Immediately back OF
the hall, and the china closet and pantries
placed on that side Of the house. This would
bring the sitting room In the place now
mentioned as a dining room, and would give
. parlor In front. In one Of the houses, e
built, there was a rear stairway running from
one Of the small bedrooms up stairs to q little
hall at one side Of the kitchen below. The
cellar stairway was under Il. Another thing
which might Be dome would be to continue
the part over the kitchen two stories high and
use the rear stairway above mentioned for
the purpose Of gaining access to a scrvant's
room, a bath room and ono Of the small bad
rooms. The bath room would be next TO the
kitchen Hue so that the plumbing pipes might
be run up mex to it In q way to prevent
freezing.
To take the plan a. It is we find that there
are eight rooms arranged according TO low
cost ideas. First, there is q porch In front
| from which wc enter the hall, which is 7kx1O
feet In dimensions. Tho stairway Is Of mod.
ern plan, with a landing five steps up from
the feor. Over this landing Is a square win.
dow in which may be placed cathedral glass.
There are newell posts on the first step and al
the landings There = place Tor . hat RCD
either next to the stairway or at the left Of
the door entering the sitting room. In cass
it were placed here there might be q closet
under the hall stairway and leading into thu
hall; otherwise it might bs entered from the
library. This close. Il not shown on ths
plan. There are folding doors between the
sitting room and dining room and between
tina dining room and the library. These door
might be changed to sliding doors for $40 fos
each opening.
The sitting room Is the best room In The
house, as It should DO; in It ia a crate. Their
are double windows In front. There Is plenty
OF wall space for piano or furniture. Thu
room which is called the library Is used, IL
the Instance which ! have In mind, n q study
by q young professional man. The side door
way shown might be placed so as to open x
the rear porch by moving the cellar stairway
so that it would run iengthway OF th,
kitchen. II mora isolation Il required from
the dining room Eingls rather han d0abl
doors might be used. This would give add
tional wall space.

In connection with these plans which I have
given, statements as to cost are made. 1t
may be interesting to know what kind of cou-
struction is contemplated. In the first place,
the stills are Gx6 inches; the first two tiers Of
joist are 2x10 inches, the third 2xS; the stud.
ding 2x4 inches. The outside walls are
sheeted, papered and weather boarded, either
this or lath sheeting on the inside and paper
on the outside. The paper, of course, is build
ing paper, ard is covered with the usual
weather boarding or shingles, as indicated.
Tn material is all first class. The front door
b oak, as is also the stairway. The other
finish is soft wood, stained OF vanished. Tho
first story Is 10 feet 9 inches high, and the
second 8 feet s inches.
This house has been built according to this
same general plan -four times, but never at 4
cost exceeding S $1,000. This includes a mod
crate amount of fence, walks, well, cistern
and sheds LOUIS H, GIBSON.

II ACCIDENT TO COMMANDER woRDEN.
When it was discovered that solid shot had
no p%erceptible effect upon the Monitors
turret the Merrimnc sought to run her down,
but Intellectually. At last a shell struck the
pilot house Of the Monitor, exploding directly
in front of the grate through which
Commander Worden was watching the
Merrimae's movements. The explosion
damaged the pilot house materially and
blinded and seriously hurt the COM
mander. Instantly there was confusion
and excitement on board the Monitor, and
firing was stopped till the extent of the in
juries to the vessel and her captain should be
learned. The MefTinac, which was leaking
badly, took advantage Of the lull to retire and
the contest was over.
During the next two months the Monitor
lay at Hampton roads, and Dec. 80, having
been repaired in the meantime, she was taken
in tow by the Rhode Island, bound for Beau
fort, S. c. This voyage was her last, for she
went down of Hatteras the next night in q
gale.
During her fight with the Merrimae
great trouble was experienced with her
turret, which was hard to work, and there
were constant apprehensions that the machin-
cry which caused it to revolye would be dis
abled. But these fears were not realized, and
the Monitors success established the turret
ship as a type of war vessel which has since
come into very general use.
